Dinosaur Math Science, Fossils, Activities, Dinosaur day, End of unit, Research

Make discoveries about dinosaurs with your students using this comprehensive resource pack. Ideal for classrooms in grades 4 through 6, "Dinosaur Math Investigation" is not just a set of activities and worksheets; it's an immersive differentiated project that integrates Math and Science while exploring dinosaurs and where their fossils have been found. Students apply math skills to solve problems and learn about dinosaurs. Great for Dinosaur Day or as an end of unit task.

The two differentiated versions of the project and the challenge questions are carefully structured for simplicity and effectiveness. One version may cater to varying learning needs or levels of proficiency. All you need to do is print enough of the relevant investigation sheets for each student.

All of the relevant measurements have been gathered and included so that you don’t have to do the work. Students engage in a four-page (+ plus a dinosaur map) investigation packed with stimulating questions.

These questions span various math concepts through an exploration of mathematical principles within the context of dinosaurs.

The science and math topics are as follows:

• Dinosaur Existence: Students use operations to calculate the number of years dinosaurs existed on our planet.
• Dinosaur Fossils: Students use coordinates to locate where different dinosaur fossils have been found on a world map.
• Smallest Dinosaur Egg: Students use length to draw the smallest dinosaur egg.
• Human Comparisons: Students use measurement, operations, and rounding to compare dinosaur and human mass, size, and more.

You get:

• Differentiated math project black line masters including (2 versions):

-Example answers

-4 pages of questions

-Dinosaur map

• 1 page of “challenge questions” to be completed after the investigation.

There are links to American, English and Australian curriculum documents.
